What You Need:

sliced spiced chicken breast over cooked white rice with fresh mango salsa on the side - as well as sliced avocado and lime wedges

Let’s Cook:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375′
  2. Make the Mango Salsa and let chill in the fridge
  3. Make the spice mixture by combining the salt, chili powder, paprika, cumin and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl
  4. Season both sides of each chicken breast with the spice mixture
  5. Heat avocado oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat and cook the chicken on each side for 5 minutes, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking for another 15-20 minutes (will vary depending on the size of the chicken breast) Internal temp should be 165’F
  6. Once done, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing
  7. Serve over rice (cauliflower rice for Whole30) and top with Mango Salsa – add fresh lime and sliced avocado for the perfect burrito bowl

Recipe Notes:

  • My Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice would be perfect for the base of this burrito bowl
  • Prep the Mango Salsa ahead of time so that the flavors can meld and it can chill in the fridge
  • The spiced chicken breast and mango salsa are both Paleo & Whole30 compliant – if you are making a burrito bowl, serve over cauliflower rice
